Drax Project has won the crowd over at every single one of their recent performances. The band are exceptional players whose hooky songs and sonic sounds transfix any audience. 
 
It’s been a minute since fans last had music from Mitch James, but he’s back with brand new single ‘Be Somebody’, a starkly personal and reflective song that showcases his authentic approach to hit song-writing. The now 25-year old is ready to soar to new heights, with an invigorated passion for music and sense of self – he’s ready to get back to business, and what better way to do that than by touring with great mates Drax Project!
